(RBM) Realistic Battle Mod

Description
This version of the mod is for live version of the Bannerlord 1.2.12 live.
Experimental version with glancing blows and critical strikes can be found here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/791?tab=files

This mod makes combat more realistic. Armour values are based on experimental data. Armoured units are more resistant to damage depending on weapon type used vs armour. Each weapon type has different effect vs armour. All units defend themselves more, units with shields actually use the shields. All projectiles now cause damage based on their kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of projectiles is result of simulation based on real life experimental data. All battles are significantly longer now. Damage of horse charge is physics based, couched lancing is scientifically accurate. AI armies use more tactics. Spears are buffed in melee in comparison to vanilla and much more. Arenas are more fair, more rewarding and have multiple stages of progress. Many castles and towns have improved defender positions. Units fight in formations instead of messy clump. Your weapon type affects general behaviour such as armour penetration, weapon quality affects properties such as sharpness. Your raw damage is primarily determined by your character combat skill, relative speed and body part you hit. Hitting armour weak-spots have huge impact.

Features:
The mod contains multiple modules (Combat, AI and Arena) and settings (active only if their respective module is active which can be toggled on / off in the game main menu.

If the game does not load / crash on startup try going to "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\261550\2859251492\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client" and enable (right click, properties) all .dll files in that folder, Windows can sometimes disable them.

If you struggle with battle loading screen on linux, just install dotnet472 via protontricks (wine and winetricks are also required). just find app id with protontricks -s bannerlord and install it like this:

Everything regarding armour is great in melee, BUT
jesus chirst this mod misses the realism on ranged super hard
Everything that is ranged is bassically a pea shooter if its not buffed to eternity.

a 120 pound crosbow aint worth nothing point blank against mid tier armour,
but sure a guy who threw a javeling 50 yards away is an instakill to the chest on a plate armour....
absolute realism

Is there a way to not get stunlocked by every enemy out there? Mod is absolute bs.

I cant't block and attack at the same time when using shield and spear. I would like to ask if this is normal ?
spiders 7 Jul @ 3:51pm 
the posture system is genuinely horrible and makes 1v2+ combat nearly impossible because you just get stunlocked to death

Would be really nice if you could include keep battles and maybe even add street battles:) Great mod otherwise:)
